Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion, has taken to social media to voice his frustrations regarding the delay in receiving a fight contract from the UFC, as he prepares for his return to the octagon after a significant injury layoff. McGregor has been out of action for nearly five years since suffering a severe leg injury during his fight against Dustin Poirier. His anticipated return is speculated to take place this summer, potentially on the UFC's 'White House' card set for June, during which he claims to have verbally accepted a bout.

Despite his eagerness and the announcement of potential match-ups, McGregor reported that he has been waiting for over two weeks for the official contract to come through. His latest social media post highlighted the situation, stating "Day 15 of 'I accept, send the contract'", indicating his growing impatience. The UFC CEO, Dana White, has remained non-committal in responses about the fight, noting that if McGregor had indeed accepted, an announcement would have already been made, thereby adding to McGregor's frustration.

The ongoing situation raises questions about the UFC's management of high-profile fighters and their contracts, particularly given McGregor's status as one of the organization's biggest draws. It underscores the complexities that can arise during negotiations for comeback fights, especially in the context of financial considerations and fighter safety. As fans await more concrete news, the uncertainty surrounding McGregor's return continues to capture attention within the MMA community.
